Stoke's Asters have always possessed a desireable bloom, great color and a long bloom time, but many varieties have just not measured up in the garden for performance and long term surviv_ability. 'Peachie's Pick' changes all of that, giving you a dense, compact, reliable plant that thrives in the garden while providing you with an unbroken summer of color. Found by a Mississippi gardener in her home garden, 'Peachie's Pick' has been judged the best garden performing Stokesia available and you'll see the difference as flower spikes rise above the foliage in late June bearing countless violet-blue, double flowers into August. It's a great show from this plant that thrives in full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. Plant it in groups for a stunning summer carpet of color.
